Blacksher-Miller Lumber Company 2-6-0 "Mogul" Locomotives in the USA


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class Agnes Lee (Locobase 12119)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines,as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 19, p. 143. See also "The Lovelace Lumber Company of Brewton, Ala" North & South, Volume IV [4], No 12 (April-May 1906), p. 32.Works number was 14088 in September 1894.

Wood-burning Mogul that served several lumber companies. 99 continued working in Brewton, Ala when the B-M company was bought out by a group headed by E M Lovelace and renamed Lovelace Lumber in December 1903. Lovelace rebuilt the engine to standard gauge in 1905 and sold it P M Ikeler by August 1907

Mississippi lumberman P M Ikeler's purchase makes sense when you think of a light-footed Mogul running on 20- and 35-lb/yard (10-17.5 kg/metre) rail. The logging road ran about 12 miles and had been dubbed by his predecessor the Albertson Great Eastern.
